Kegworth

Kegworth is a large village lying on the River Soar, situated on the A6 near junction 24 of the M1 motorway and close to East Midlands Airpoirt. An air-crash incident in 1989 was just short of the airport’s runway at the eastern side of the airport. Although this was outside the village, it has subsequently been referred to as the Kegworth air disaster.
